“When we have served meat, my husband comes first, must be given respect so he takes the bigger part”: A qualitative analysis of maternal and child nutrition among urban and rural households in Rwanda

The study was conducted in five districts of Rwanda. Data were collected through focus group discussion and in-depth-interviews. In-depth interviews were conducted with key stakeholders (nurses and CHWs) while focus group discussions (FGD) were done with mothers and fathers of children under the age of five. Forty (40) in-depth interviews (IDI) were conducted. In each district, 4 community health workers drawn from different sectors within the district and 4 nurses from different healthcare facilities participated in the IDI. A total of ten (10) FGDs were held – one for mothers and one for fathers in each of the five districts. Study participants included in the FGD were purposely selected with the help of community health workers.

本研究在卢旺达五个行政区开展，数据采集采用焦点小组讨论（Focus Group Discussion, FGD）与深度访谈（In-depth Interview, IDI）两种方式。深度访谈的对象为关键利益相关者，包括护士与社区卫生工作者（Community Health Workers, CHWs）；焦点小组讨论则面向五岁以下儿童的父母。本次研究共完成40次深度访谈：每个地区选取辖区内不同部门的4名社区卫生工作者，以及来自不同医疗机构的4名护士参与深度访谈。此外共开展10次焦点小组讨论——五个地区的每个地区分别设置1场母亲组与1场父亲组讨论。焦点小组讨论的研究对象通过社区卫生工作者协助，采用立意抽样法选取。
